The Celtics' length, athleticism, and position-less defense is making an impact. Steph Curry and Klay Thompson don't have as much airspace to operate as usual. They look rushed. They're a combined 3-16 from the field and 2-7 from 3-pt range at the half.

Jaylen Brown just played one of the more memorable 4-12 shooting halves in NBA history. Lots of splash plays, including a rip of Curry, a block of a KD jumper, and a block of Klay Thompson at the rim. He is eager to rise to the moment. No fear of the champs from him.

Before the one free throw he made on the second of his two FTs he had not put the ball through the hoop all night. He is 0-5 from the field, including 0-3, from 3-point range. Yet, he is still a plus-15 on the night, the best of any Celtic. That's the mystery of Marcus. twitter.com/GwashburnGlobe…

Interesting time watching Steelers-Titans at a Buffalo Wild Wings in Mexico City, aka "The Steel Cave," the unofficial meeting place for the local Steelers fan club. Really fun watching it with knowledgeable fans who have unique sayings and traditions
